Hebrews
10:19-39
Therefore,
brothers [and sisters],
Since
we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place
By
the blood of Jesus,
By
a New and Living WAY opened for us through the curtain,
That
is His body,
And
since we have a Great Priest [Christ
Jesus] over The House Of God,
Let
us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of
faith,
Having
our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience
And
having our bodies washed with pure water.
Let
us hold unswervingly to the Hope we profess,
For
He [Christ] who
promised is faithful.
And
let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love
And
good deeds.
Let
us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of
doing,
But
let us encourage one another--
And
all the more as you see The Day approaching.
If
we deliberately keep on sinning
After
we have received the knowledge of the truth,
No
sacrifice for sins is left, but only judgment and of raging fire
That
will consume the enemies of God.
Anyone
who rejected the Law of Moses died without mercy
On
the testimony of two or three witnesses.
How
much more severely do you think a man
[or woman]
Deserves
to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot,
Who
has treated as an unholy thing the Blood of the Covenant
That
sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of Grace?
For
we know Him who said, 'It is Mine to avenge; I will repay,'
And
again, 'The Lord will judge His people.'
It
is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.
Remember
those earlier days after you had received the Light,
When
you stood your ground in a GREAT CONTEST in the face of suffering.
Sometimes
you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;
At
other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
You
sympathized with those in prison
And
joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property,
Because
you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
So
do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You
need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God,
You
will receive what He has promised.
For
in just a very little while,
'He
Who is coming will come and will not delay.
But
My righteous one [every
Christian who belongs to Christ]
Will
live by faith.
And
if he shrinks back, I will not be please with him.'
But
we are not o those who shrink back and are destroyed,
But
of those who believe and are saved. (Hebrews 10:19-39)
Today,
as we approach The Day;
The
Day that Christ Jesus returns and reclaims His earth
And
ends the six thousand years of God working with mankind
And
ushers in The Day Of REST, The Millennium;
We
must be prepared and we must persevere through what lies ahead.
The
saints of every generation have had their trials.
We
are about to witness the hour of trial
That
is going to come upon the whole world
To
test those who live on the earth. (Revelation 3:10)
If
we keep the commands of Christ Jesus and endure patiently
We
will be kept from this “TRIAL,” as Christ Jesus promised.
However,
those who ignore the time we are living in
Will
be greatly disillusioned; Many will fall away from the faith
Because
God does not meet their expectations—
They
did not anticipate suffering, persecution;
Betrayal
by their family members, relatives and friends.
They
did not anticipate the collapse of the society around them.
Yet,
it is all in The Book! We have all been told! It is no secret!
Those
who have preached only the goodness of God
And
not holiness and the consequence of sin will be no where to be found.
Or
worse, they will be part of the great apostasy and rebellion against
God
That
Daniel and the apostle Paul foretold.
Christ
Jesus promised to come like a thief!
He
came to the Ten Virgins like a thief!
Five
were prepared and five were not! That is how it will be!
I
pray that all who read this will be prepared, awake and watching
As
Christ Jesus told us to be.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
Save
yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Very timely!!!!
